There's a certain hour in our house that I've affectionately nicknamed "the witching hour." :) It's that time of day that everything seems to fall apart, and it always happens around the time that I'm making dinner. Today seems to be a particulary bad case. Hunter had pooped for the second time in one hour, but was polite enough to come and tell me (think it's time to potty-train?), and Harrison and Hudson were fighting over who gets to wear a tupperware bowl on their head (you can see from the picture that Harrison won that one), all the while I'm online trying to come up with something new and creative to make with chicken. Oh, and Hunter was insisting that I carry him all over the house. AGHHHHGHHHH!

Yea for dum dum suckers! Every mother should have a jar full of those. They were good for teachers too until the state decided we couldn't give the students candy anymore. The Tori and Dean watch party sounds fun and, yes, I just started the Twilight series yesterday. I can't put it down!

Funny - we have the same witching hour in our house - seriously! I've often had to crank up the music & tune out the chaos just to get dinner done & on the table. I think I'll use your Dum Dum idea - it's golden!

Jaclyn

Parenthood, Gilmore Girls, This Is Us, and The Middle are my must-see TV list. Pretty sure that any life situation can relate back to either an episode of Friends or Seinfeld.

Love mornings on our back porch and reading in a super-hot bath. I'm a Texas girl who's been transplanted to Georgia...then Missouri. Coffee drinker. Baseball fan. Target is my happy place. 12 years of being in the ministry has taught me a lot... striving to live an authentic life that points others to Jesus.

My B

Brian, is my darling, scary-smart, outdoorsy, extremely patient, sometimes serious, always forgiving, incredibly good-looking husband. We met on my first day of college, and he is truly my first love.

H1

The oldest of my three H's...the fiercely independent 10th grader who loves playing baseball and memorizing any and all sports facts is constantly eating, super smart, always talking, and incredibly thoughtful. He takes his role as the biggest brother very seriously, and his little brothers both think he is pretty fantastic. We all do.

H2

The middle H...the sweetest 7th grader who loves being a stud left tackle on the football field and is a master video gamer, is our amazingly intuitive, techno-savvy, constantly caring, seriously stubborn, super funny, dimpled-cheeked second born.

H3

Our youngest H...this one is obsessed with playing guitar, Nerf, hunting, Minecraft, and all things camo, is a happy-go-lucky, super sweet, incredibly mischievous, major cuddling 4th grader. He rocks his role as the baby of the family, and is proof that God's ways are always better than ours.

Henry the Wonder Dog

The 6th member of the Hatcher family, this guy is loved by all. He's the dog that made me a dog person, and I'm crazy about the gentle beast he is. His favorites include cheezits, chicken biscuits, bones, his stuffed duck named Marvin, and anything that we are eating.
